Have you ever seen Russia waging colonial wars or wars to expand its territory? [...] The Russians do not want to invade anyone. The only reason they wage war is to ensure the security of their borders. That is why Putin has moved his army into Ukraine, because since 1998 NATO military activities have been taking place there that threaten Russia's borders. It is idiotic to say that Putin wants to invade Poland and the Baltics. Putin wants to take it easy, he does not want to have a gun pointed at his face by NATO.

Additional quotes by Nicolai Lilin

Cos'è un criminale? Uno che va contro la giustizia? Ma quale giustizia? I partigiani e chi ha lottato contro i regimi comunisti non erano dei fuorilegge? Per gli Urca anche Gesù era un criminale onesto, a loro piace quando il vangelo dice che era venuto per portare la spada. Era un rivoluzionario.

The history of the United States has been the history of a series of military interventions and aggressions, direct or indirect, real or fake wars. All to favor the private interests of private economic groups. A typical Anglo-Saxon style, moreover. They have not invented anything. They conquer territories, intervene in other people's affairs, only to grab money, allies, business.
